I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD

Love is such a peaceful certainty when the one you love is truly known—no shadows, no secrets, just pure authenticity and unbound sincerity. It is the peace found when you have stared into their abysses and their heavens; when you have seen their scars, their pain, their desires, and their dreams. When you have embraced them completely and found coherence between word and deed, intimacy peels away every layer until it becomes naked faith. This is how I rest in you, and you in me, beloved mine.

Jaguar XK 150 

The XK150 is often unfairly overlooked by enthusiasts.Never truly tested in competition, unlike its forebears, the model lacks something of the sporting appeal that made its earlier incarnations so irresistible.But you don’t have to look far around before you begin to appreciate that this consummate grand tourer is very much standing on the shoulders of giants.While the shape lacks some of the delicacy and raw sporting appeal of the all-conquering 120, enough of the magic remains to seal its place in the list of Big Cat greats.

The family line became increasingly refined from that first groundbreaking 1948 XK120, but while the XK140 of 1954 represented a gradual improvement on the roadster-cum-racer, the 1957 XK150 was a bolder step forward.

Thoroughly modern, the 150’s body was wide and tall, with a higher scuttle and raised waistline that almost completely masked the 120’s elegant hips.

The split windscreen that was a feature of both earlier generations was replaced by a curved one-piece unit, while on coupé models such as magnificent XK150 3.8 SE the entire frame was subtly moved forward by four inches, an almost imperceptible change but one that gives the 150 a purposeful, muscular feel.

Beneath the bulkier bodywork there was a much-improved cabin, but the XK150 otherwise shared a great deal with its predecessors, with little difference to the chassis and running gear of the 140, except for sharper rack-and-pinion steering and all-round Dunlop disc brakes in place of drums. The venerable 3.4-litre twin-cam straight-six that had already proved itself for almost a decade remained and, though it now produced 190bhp thanks to a reworked head, performance was a touch underwhelming until the arrival of the Special Equipment variant.Twin 1¾in SU HD6 carburettors and a big-valve head raised power to 210bhp, while the full-fat ‘S’ – complete with triple HD8 carbs and a straight-port head – put out an impressive 250bhp.The biggest change came in 1960, when the MkIX saloon’s powerful 3781cc straight-six was made available for the first time.With the larger-capacity engine the range-topping XK150S turned out a career-best 265bhp – enough to hit 60mph in just 7 secs.
